Patrick Schwarzenegger took a break from his studies for a little shoe shopping in Santa Monica.

The studly 17-year-old student hit up Fred Segal solo ... and left wearing his new purchase. We're diggin' the black kicks, Pat! Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver's son recently moved out of the family's multi-million dollar Brentwood mansion following the lovechild drama between his dad and longtime housekeeper Mildred Baena.

Looks as though Patrick is getting used to the cameras following his every move. With his movie star good looks, we have a feeling he'll be hitting the small screen in no time.
